French scientist behind abortion pill dies aged 98

The French scientist who created the abortion pill has died at the age of 98.

Étienne-Émile Baulieu helped develop the oral drug RU-486, also known as mifepristone, which has provided millions of women across the world with a safe and inexpensive alternative to a surgical abortion.

Dr Baulieu died at his home in Paris on Friday, his widow confirmed in a statement.

Simone Harari Baulieu said: "His research was guided by his commitment to progress through science, his dedication to women's freedom and his desire to enable everyone to live better and longer lives."

French President Emmanuel Macron called Dr Baulieu "a beacon of courage" and "a progressive mind who enabled women to win their freedom".

"Few French people have changed the world to such an extent," he added in a post on X.

Aurore Bergé, France's gender equality minister, said Dr Baulieu "was guided throughout his life by one requirement: that of human dignity" in a post on X.

Dr Baulieu was born Étienne Blum on 12 December 1926 in Strasbourg. He changed his name to join the French resistance against the Nazi occupation when he was 15.

Following his graduation, he travelled to the United States where he worked with the man known as the father of the contraceptive pill, Dr Gregory Pincus. Dr Pincus advised him on focusing on sex hormones.

Back in France, Dr Baulieu designed a method to block the effect of the hormone progesterone – which is essential for the egg to implant in the uterus following fertilisation.

RU-486

meaning?

Take the last part first. “86” In slang, “86” primarily means to throw out, get rid of, or refuse service to someone or something.

So...read it this way...

“Are You For 86?” RU-486

This man is of his father the devil.

The former FBI Clown Director, “Cross-eyed Hurricane Comey” didn’t even have this kind of knowledge. He thought RU-486 was “somebody’s address” or a natural sea shell formation found on leftwing beaches.

It's not safe. Women are winding up in ERs.

Very. All the left cares about is hedonistic perversions. Every single leftist has the moral values of animals, every last one of them.

“safe alternative…” Nope. The data has been scrubbed and manipulated- that drug is not safe. But, for those who would murder their children, I care not for their safety; may they reap what they have sown.
